This online course examines the historical context in which te Tiriti o Waitangi was signed and how the effects of colonialism have impacted education and other outcomes for Māori. Ākonga will analyse why education inequalities for Māori learners and their whānau need to be urgently addressed and how they can bring about change in their professional roles.
Learners will gain knowledge of kaupapa Māori theories and approaches to support the implementation of guiding documents. Ākonga will develop and progress te reo Māori skills and tikanga Māori for their everyday practice and participate in noho marae.
